Dissociative Identity Disorder - facing obstacles to integration

The first of my divisions happened at age 2 and a half. Willie was born in response to life threatening abuse and went on to become the protector of Donna, the main team 'parent', one of the main 'monitors' and later the team's 'psychologist' (Willie got an honors degree in Sociology, a degree in Linguistics and a post grad Diploma in Education). Here Willie discusses of how the team's different selves each evolved identities to protect against the memories of each other, to block memory of the events which necessitated their own origins and how pivotal foundations of these identities also therefore presented obstacles to integration. Hence, the team's path to integration means extreme challenges to the identities of each of the selves, with these challenges then setting off shock waves in each of the others. The result is that integration by necessity requires a broad experience of 'breakdown'/'breakthrough'. Our own experience though is that this not the death of those selves, but of their illusions, and that they do continue as healthier selves once free of those illusions. On the path to integration we would, however, recommend the groundwork first: ensure all the selves will be kept safe from abusers throughout and hopefully beyond the healing process get a good healthy support network including a therapist with experience in trauma recovery who is equipped to guide you through the process distinguish roles from selves. We can all develop roles but selves are far more than roles. Only rarely will these evolve into fully developed selves. distinguish fragments (which may have dealt with specific episodes) from main selves try and set out who all the selves are, their relationships to each other, their sequence of arrival, who they do and don't relate to or have co-consciousness with help all the selves coming to know who the selves each are build understanding of the unique worlds, perspectives, memories, beliefs, attachments, abilities and challenges of each self and acknowledge (at least in principal) that each self had a valid and essential role in survival of childhood abuse, establish a sense of a team and basic ground rules for building mutual respect and safety establish a safe and constructive place of expression for grief, play, fear, rage and nurturing acknowledge that integration doesn't have to mean the spiritual death of multiple selves. It can mean they become a co-operative family and that each grows and changes in healthy ways which preserve far more energy for the entire team, energy otherwise invested in keeping each separate.
